Abraham Lincoln faces to the right because the design of the coin was based on a medal that had his image that direction. Also, Jefferson's portrait faces right on the Westward Journey nickels struck in 2005, so Lincoln is not the only president facing that direction. The choice of direction for a portrait is purely artistic. There is no law or political reason for the selection.
The President. (I'm not sure if this is right)
He isn't anymore. In 2005 the nickel was temporarily redesigned so that Jefferson's portrait also faced to the right. However in 2006 it was turned again and Jefferson faces forward on newer nickels. The decision as to which direction each portrait faced was just coincidence, due to the medals and other sculptures on which the coins' designs were based.
There is no president on the only silver dollars intended for circulation. All the dollar coins containing silver for general circulation had an image of Liberty and were last minted in 1935. However, the Eisenhower dollar coin minted from 1971-1978 are the same size as the earlier silver dollar coins, but they ones intended for circulation contain absolutely no silver and should not be called silver dollars. These dollar coins minted from 1971-1978 contain a portrait of Dwight Eisenhower on them.
The first, and only, President of the Confederate States of America was Jefferson Davis. Jefferson Davis was the first and only president of the confederacy.
Richard Nixon was the only vice president to become president that did not succeed the president he served under.
Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln. Sorry, but Jefferson is also facing right on the 2005 5 Cents coin, also, some of the Presidents on the Presidential dollars face right.
The coin's designer, Victor David Brenner, based the image on a medal he had created earlier. The direction of portraits on American coins is not determined by any laws or custom, but solely by the preference of the artists who designed them. In fact, Lincoln is not the only president whose image faces to the right. The modernistic portrait of Thomas Jefferson used on the 2005 Lewis and Clark nickels also is right-facing and his portrait on 2006 and later nickels is in a 3/4-right orientation. Images on the Presidential Dollars face in all directions, and on older coins those of Miss Liberty are about equally split between left and right.
Alexander Hamilton on the 10$ bill is facing his right
No, and there is no special significance that Lincoln is facing right. The Franklin Half Dollar minted from 1948-1963 has Benjamen Franklin facing right. Barber dimes, quarters and half-dollars minted from 1892-1916 has Liberty facing right. The Susan B Anthony Dollar minted from 1979-1999 has Susan B Anthony facing right. The Sacajawea Dollar minted from 2000-present has Sacajawea facing right. Many other historical US coins have also been minted with Liberty facing right, including the Chain Cent and Liberty Cap cent.
The brass $1 presidential dollar coins are only worth $1.
We know that if E=MC2 you get a slight tilt in the wind the coin be centert to gravity where to facing east or look at it up sidedown :)
I hope so. No one has an exact answer. Only if you can predict the future.
If the sun is rising on your right side, then you are facing south. The east is to your right when you are facing south, which means north will be to your left.
He doesn't right now, because only a president who has been deceased for a long period of time can be on our bills or coins. As the first black president in our history, he may someday be on a bill or a coin, but it is doubtful it will happen in our lifetime.

"No, the Executive Privilege is the right of the President, but not only him or her. The other official leaders and congress men may have this privilege as well."
